UNESCO events in Uruguay and Chile marked 25 years of the Information for All Programme. Meetings on October 15 and 26 examined how people can judge information in a world shaped by artificial intelligence. Specialists discussed misleading content, bias and privacy, alongside opportunities for education. Their message went beyond learning which buttons to press. People need skills to question information and decide whether a source deserves their trust.
The discussions connected AI literacy with teacher training and public policy. Access to information matters, but access alone does not make an answer reliable. A confident response can still contain errors or leave out important context. For learners, a practical question is where a claim came from and what evidence supports it. The events encouraged independent judgement rather than automatic acceptance of digital content.
